My .gitignore has the following:
./config.json
But my config.json is still being committed when I make changes.
Why is this happening?

Can you give us an idea of your folder structure – DTeuchert May 06 '18 at 07:13

Was the file added to git before you added it to gitignore? – PrasadK May 06 '18 at 07:13

1Yes, the file was added to git before adding it to .gitignore. The file is in the base directory of the repository. – Mary May 06 '18 at 07:14

If you file was added to repository before you added it to gitignore you should explicity remove it from repository
git rm config.json
git commit <message>
After removed from repository this file will be ignore as expected.
If you want to save this file in your file system you can remove with --cached option
git rm --cached config.json
